Wow. All the abuse, and she still keeps going. You kinda got to give maria a bit more of a motive to this, cuz she keeps getting tortured, but if she gets sumthin good out of it, it makes a bit more sense.

How often do random people suddenly decide to be your best friend? It does happen though so I wont complain about that new character. Mariah should like have Dave threaten Gina. That would rock. So like bye! Update soon.

Wow. Everything set up for a teen substance abuse story. i mean, you have everything set up here. Fear of parents, the wish to be "Cool", social problems, unrelentness with her friend...i'm lookin forward to the next chapter. have fun...
